Search and Reports

SearchKit Form adds a Form display type to CiviCRM SearchKit. Instead of a table or a grid of cards, the results of a search are shown as editable forms — one record per page by default, or several at once in a configurable grid: you page prev / next through the whole filtered, sorted set — with an N / total position indicator — and edit each record's fields inline, saving through CiviCRM's APIv4. It is an "open a list, then browse the records in a form" workflow, built entirely on core SearchKit.

It reuses SearchKit's own editing machinery — the inline-edit widgets and the ACL-checked SearchDisplay.inlineEdit save action — so every field permission, entity ACL and validation rule applies exactly as it does anywhere else in CiviCRM. The extension adds no server-side save code.

A Form display of a contact: a prev / next pager with a 1 / 8 position indicator over a card whose fields are grouped into Identity, Work and Contact sections — First Name, Last Name and Job Title as editable inputs, Email and Phone as read-only values — and a Save button

Features

  • A Form display type in the SearchKit display editor, alongside Table, List and Grid.
  • Renders the current record as a vertical form; the fields are the search's columns.
  • Editable or display-only per field — tick In-Place Edit on the fields that should be editable; the rest render read-only. Saving goes through SearchKit's ACL-checked inline-edit action.
  • Section headings — group fields under optional headings for a structured form.
  • Record pager — prev / next step through the whole filtered, sorted result set, with a configurable position indicator (N / total, Record N of total, or hidden).
  • Grid of forms — optionally show several editable forms per page in a responsive rows × cols grid (default 1 × 1 = a single form); the pager then steps a whole page at a time. Each form on the page keeps its own edits and saves independently, and a page-level guard warns if any is unsaved.
  • Unsaved-changes guard — paging away from an edited record prompts Save / Discard / Cancel, so edits are never lost silently; validation errors are shown inline and keep you on the record.
  • Open on a chosen record ("enter from a search") — a companion display (e.g. a table) can hand off to the form positioned on the clicked record, then page over the same set.
  • Theme-native styling — every colour, border, radius and spacing value comes from the active CiviCRM theme (RiverLea --crm-* custom properties) with safe fallbacks, so the form follows the current stream and dark mode automatically. No hardcoded colours.
